Testers Wanted: Newton Driver Shafts ×

Good driver fitting numbers for an 18 yr old?


Recommended Posts

My son went for a driver fitting this past Friday, here are some pics of his numbers in order. He was fit for a Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond, 8.0 degree, X-Stiff Project X Hazrdus Smoke Black RDX shaft. At first glance these numbers seem pretty good. He's a strong kid, at 5'11 210lbs. He's pretty good young golfer, shoots anywhere from 73 to low 80's. Any thoughts are feedback on his numbers are appreciated.

Sounds like your son got a great fitting! The numbers you posted look solid, especially for an 18-year-old with his swing speed. The X-stiff shaft is a good choice for a strong swinger like him, and the 8° loft will help him get a nice penetrating trajectory. The Paradym Triple Diamond is a great driver for better players, and it sounds like it's a good fit for his game.

You seem to be doubting the fit based on your question.  

Don’t know angle of attack since it isn’t shown but the below article should give you what you are looking for regarding the numbers.

My bad on the misleading post title. I wasn't with him to hear what the guy said. so I was just asking for general feed back on his numbers as they look really good to me. The guy fitting him, said he had a great fluid swing. I wish I had those types of numbers!

The numbers posted look fine.  The efficiency on the first one was a little low but he still had a 304 carry so not much to complain about there.  I think the main thing for him with that distance is to have a consistent ball flight, it looks like his is a fade from the traces?

He went with the Paradym Triple Diamond in 8.0 deg in X-Stiff. He got it yesterday and played with it today and shot a 3 over 74.
